Paul Townend made it three for the afternoon at Cork when Knockraha Pylon claimed the Low Low Handicap Hurdle.

The Adrian Maguire-trained gelding was held up in the two-miler before coming with a challenge three from home.

The 5/1 shot got on top on the run-in to record a length-and-a-quarter win over Copy Print

The winner had been the subject of a running and riding enquiry on his last outing when finishing fifth at Limerick.

Maguire had been fined €250 for his conduct in that enquiry.
